On the journey to Victoria we took the ferry from Anacortes to Sidney. The trip home offered another path, starting from Victoria to Port Angeles. It was a bit of fun with a larger ferry. We even saw a whale off in the distance. After disembarking in Port Angeles we pick up some lunch. The…
There are so many pictures of this place I could post, but really, what I want to do is encourage you to go yourself if ever in the Victoria B.C. area. Fort Rodd Hill And the Fisgard Lighthouse were certainly a highlight of our trip. Some of the buildings are set up to display how…
In this installment of our vacation retrospective we go to Cathedral Trail and Elk Falls, and in the same day. Yes, it was a long day. Let’s get into it, shall we? On the drive up we stopped at a rest area and this was the view. Trees! As you can see in the background,…

I probably should have put these next two pictures in with the previous Vancouver Island post, but here they are. After visiting the Royal B.C. Museum we went through Chinatown. That includes Fan Tan Alley, an interesting flea market style collection of shops. The next day was my birthday, and we went whale watching, though…
Our family vacation this summer was to Victoria, B.C., and while we stayed in Victoria, we also took the opportunity to explore a bit of Vancouver Island as well. There will be a few posts regarding this whole trip, but this first one will just cover getting there as well as one of the highlights…
